What Past Guests Are Saying

Overall Rating

Ownership needs to make some changes.

Left on 08/26/2014 for a stay in August 2014 | EmilyKoz

This vacation rental says it sleeps 8; in actuality it is better suited for only 6. The third bedroom in the home has a pull out sofa: the mattress is two inches thick with nothing but springs. It was marginally better on the floor as opposed to on the sofa. I am 5'7'' and my husband is 6'2'' and we were both hanging off of the end of it. The third bedroom also has no window coverings of any kind on the sliding glass doors that overlook the back deck/yard/fire pit, so there was no privacy.
The guest home had a very musty/moldy smell. Those staying there bought air neutralizers but to very little positive effect.
When we arrived there were many gnats taking up residence in the hall bathroom shower/tub that never left.
Bathroom doors do not lock.
The best part of this home is the screened in porch that runs the length of the home.
The house was well stocked with towels and kitchen necessities.
Tonya was helpful, we had an issue with some bed linens and she arrived within 5 minutes of our call with replacements.
I would recommend this place only if changes were made. Read more

Response from AquaVacationRentals - 09/11/2014

Owner's response:

The owners appreciate your feedback. We completely understand that you were very frustrated during your stay at our home and we are sorry that you had so many concerns. This level of dissatisfaction is a new experience for us so we are taking your comments seriously. To clarify any misconception I do want to point out that our property description on the Aqua Vacation rental website informs site visitors that sleeping arrangements do include a pull-out couch. This type of bedding is not everyone's choice. We are taking steps to ensure greater comfort for those who use the pull out and will be putting curtains on the window for greater privacy in this room. We choose not to put locks on our bathroom doors for safety reasons. Our home is rented by families that often include small children and elderly adults who, if injured or incapacitated, may or may not be able to open the doors. We want to err on the side of ensuring easy access in those types of situations. We will include this explanation in our renter's information book and encourage people to "knock before entering". Regarding the musty odor in our guest house, we suspect that our unusually wet winter, spring and summer may have created more dampness around this smaller structure. We have recently addressed repairs to the bathroom and are looking into this issue. Our home is inspected on an ongoing basis for seasonal pests. We are completely satisfied with the diligence of this service. It is in everyone's best interest if our renters promptly report any incidents like the one you encountered to our property manager, Tonya, so that we can continue to ensure a bug-free environment. Our housekeepers do an excellent job of keeping this home immaculately clean and we have never had any complaints that would indicate otherwise. Generally, we receive very positive feedback that our furnishings are attractive, well-maintained and better than the norm for summer vacation rentals. Thanks for helping us make it even better.

A Week of Fun with Family

Left on 06/19/2013 for a stay in June 2013 | Diane

Aqua 1st Lane Hideaway was a great place for my husband and I to enjoy time with our son and wife and grand-children from Texas. We played games on the amazing porch surrounded by a relaxing wooded setting just 4 blocks from beautiful Lake Michigan. The Sunsets were remarkable. Our family enjoyed barbequing almost every night and the fully equipped kitchen made every meal a breeze. We spent time at the beach every day, visited the Warren Sand Dunes; the FernWood Gardens and a trip to Saugatuck included their Dune rides. Bud & Elsie's Local Market had some great reasonable wines and delicious treats such as ice cream and candy.

The home had everything to make our vacation comfortable with the spacious open kitchen and living room area, the fully stocked kitchen, fireplace and fire pit, washer-dryer and whirlpool bath tubs. There were even toys and games for the children to enjoy.

Tonya with aqua Vacations was very helpful and greeted us when we arrived which was an added perk and we received fresh flowers when we arrived.

Annual Trip to Michigan

Left on 09/27/2012 for a stay in August 2012 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

This is the second trip my friends and I have taken to the Union Pier area and we loved this home. It was a perfect place for our group of 8 and we took advantage of everything it had to offer. From the fire pit to the screened in porch, it was the perfect home to enjoy the gorgeous summer nights we had during our weekend. It is a short drive to our favorite winery, the golf course, and the beach. The girls agreed that the best part of the home is there is no tv in the main living room! It didn't go on once the entire trip. The team at aqua Vacation Rentals is fantastic and we look forward to many summers of renting this home.

The beaches are just as beautiful as anywhere along the coastlin

Left on 09/27/2012 for a stay in July 2012 | Barb

This house has everything you could possibly want in a rental. A short walk or ride to a beautiful beach, close to shopping. It suited our family so well,very clean and the kitchen is well stocked which is important since we cook in all but one night. The rental company was very helpful by informing us on what was going on resturants winerys etc. Would rent from them again. The only negative is the train in back can be a little noisy.

Great place to accomadate a large family

Left on 09/19/2012 for a stay in July 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewer

My family has vacationed in the area for over 20 years. My kids are all older now with kids of their own. We need more space. This place was large and still cozy enough to keep everyone happy. A wonderful, bug free, screened in porch. The entire property was very clean and had such a homey feel to it. We all had a fantastic week. Tonya was great and easy to deal with.
